He stalks in his vivid stripes | |
The few steps of his cage, | |
On pads of velvet quiet, | |
In his quiet rage. |
He should be lurking in shadow, | |
Sliding through long grass | |
On pads of velvet quiet, | |
Where plump deer pass. |
He should be snarling around houses | |
At the jungle’s edge | |
Baring his white fangs, his claws, | |
Terrorising the village! |
But he’s locked in a concrete cell | |
His strength behind bars, | |
Stalking the length of his cage, | |
Ignoring visitors. |
He hears the last voice at night, | |
The patrolling cars, | |
And stares with his brilliant eyes | |
At the brilliant stars. |
